Its time to break out of the box: the traditional 3x3 puzzle box, that is! This assortment of engaging and challenging variants takes sudoku up a notch. The creative twists include overlapping and unusually shaped grids, special rules that make solvers up their game, and even super-large sudoku for an extra-fun experience.

Every day, tens of millions of sudoku fans get out their pencils and attack the latest 9x9 puzzle in their daily newspaper. But a huge percentage of those fans are starting to feel they’ve mastered standard sudoku and are hungry for tougher challenges. Well, here they are: sudoku on overlapping grids, sudoku with unusually shaped areas instead of 3x3 squares, sudoku with special rules, and even extra-large sudoku for an extra-fun solving experience.

Packed with more than a hundred color illustrations and a wide variety of puzzles and brainteasers, Taking Sudoku Seriously uses this popular craze as the starting point for a fun-filled introduction to higher mathematics. How many Sudoku solution squares are there? What shapes other than three-by-three blocks can serve as acceptable Sudoku regions? What is the fewest number of starting clues a sound Sudoku puzzle can have? Does solving Sudoku require mathematics? Jason Rosenhouse and Laura Taalman show that answering these questions opens the door to a wealth of interesting mathematics. Indeed, they show that Sudoku puzzles and their variants are a gateway into mathematical thinking generally. Among many topics, the authors look at the notion of a Latin square--an object of long-standing interest to mathematicians--of which Sudoku squares are a special case; discuss how one finds interesting Sudoku puzzles; explore the connections between Sudoku, graph theory, and polynomials; and consider Sudoku extremes, including puzzles with the maximal number of vacant regions, with the minimal number of starting clues, and numerous others. The book concludes with a gallery of novel Sudoku variations--just pure solving fun! Most of the puzzles are original to this volume, and all solutions to the puzzles appear in the back of the book or in the text itself. A math book and a puzzle book, Taking Sudoku Seriously will change the way readers look at Sudoku and mathematics, serving both as an introduction to mathematics for puzzle fans and as an exploration of the intricacies of Sudoku for mathematics buffs.
